Shloka : 19

अग्राह्यान्नेन पक्वं यदन्नं तदुदकं च न ।

जगन्नाथपुरोऽन्यत्र ग्राह्यं कृष्णप्रसाद्यपि ॥ 19 ॥

અને જેના હાથનું રાંધેલ અન્ન તથા જેના પાત્રનું જળ, તે ખપતું ન હોય, તેણે રાંધેલ અન્ન તથા તેના પાત્રનું જળ તે શ્રીકૃષ્ણભગવાનની પ્રસાદી- ચરણામૃતના માહાત્મ્યે કરીને પણ જગન્નાથપુરી વિના અન્ય સ્થાનકને વિષે ગ્રહણ ન કરવું; અને જગન્નાથપુરીને વિષે જગન્નાથજીનો પ્રસાદ લેવાય તેનો દોષ નહિ. ॥ 19 ॥

Food cooked by certain people and the water from the pots of certain people is forbidden to consume. Such cooked food and water should not be consumed, evenif, they are offerings to Shri Krishna Bhagwan at the places of pilgrimage other than Jagan­nathpuri. And in Jagannathpuri, offerings to Lord Jagannathji can be consumed; that is not forbidden. || 19 ||

Commentary

Food, cooked by the person whose behaviour is not in accordance with our caste, sect or conduct, is not eatable and the water, from the vessel belonging to such person, should not be consumed, evenif, it has been offered to God. Food cooked against the code of conduct means food cooked by an eligible person, is also not eatable if it is cooked knowingly or unknowingly, using unfil­tered water; or using impure ingredients; or is cooked in garlic etc. uneatable stuff; or cooked in abandoned vessels; or cooked using unstrained milk. Such impure food should not be eaten, evenif, someone insists saying that 'This has been offered to God'; or evenif, such food has been offered to one’s own worship­ping God, by justifying the belief "Whatever comes into the contact of God, becomes pure". Because the limitations of caste and sect have been set by Shriji Maharaj Himself, which cannot be broken. Moreover, Shriji Maharaj Himself has insisted in Shikshapatri that unfiltered water or milk cannot be consumed. Therefore, seekers of salvation should follow the limitations of caste and sect set by Shriji Maharaj to please Him.
